This is a common-sense measure. We have seen imams preaching hatred and violence in mosques all over the West. The willful blindness of American officials to this problem is suicidal. But this imam is unlikely to have been singular or unusual in Italy. What are Italian authorities going to do when they discover that there are many, many others like him preaching hatred and violence in Italy?
“Imam Deported from Italy After Celebrating Terror Attacks in Prison,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 22, 2018:
A Tunisian imam has been expelled from Italy after it was revealed that he had celebrated the Berlin Christmas Market terror attack in December of 2016 from his prison cell.
Story continues below advertisementThe 32-year-old imam, who had been convicted of robbery and drug dealing, was serving his sentence at the Rebibbia prison in Rome where he praised Islamic State and terrorist acts, Il Giornale reports.
One of the attacks the imam celebrated was the 2016 Berlin Christmas Market attack in which fellow Tunisian Anis Amri used a truck to run over multiple innocent people, killing a dozen and injuring 56 others. After the attack, it was revealed that Amri was said to have been radicalised in an Italian prison.
The imam was also said to have been spreading radical Islamic radical ideology among the prisoners and was said to be ready to imitate the deeds of Amri and commit a terror attack.
The expulsion order came after the 32-year-old had served his prison sentence and was set for release on August 22nd. Instead of being released, he was transferred to a repatriation centre along with three Egyptian nationals who were considered threats to Italian national security.
All four men were put on a direct flight from Rome to Cairo on Wednesday afternoon.
The case is just the latest example of the presence of radical Islam in European prisons, with the problem being a major issue in France.
Last year, two radical Islamic inmates at Fresnes prison were caught plotting a terror attack that they were to carry out upon their release and investigators also manage to find smuggled phones that allowed the pair to communicate with Islamic State.
Prisons across Europe have been referred to as breeding grounds for Islamic radicalism….

The imam was serving time for robbery and drug dealing. Sounds like he was following the example of history’s most famous boar hog (moslem male).

What happens after they land in Cairo?
Do they have to report to the police?
I would imagine they are watched.
Are they free to do whatever they want?

Good question! Let Cairo worry about it. The next challenge will be keeping him out of Italy.

They’re welcomed as heroes, just like the muslum who bombed the Lockerbie, Scotland flight was welcomed home as a hero in “moderate” Gadaffi’s Libya when the government of the United Kaliphate released him.

There Should be No more inmate inter-actions in Federal Law!
Everyone should be separate. no more shared cells or lunch rooms, bathrooms, basketball courts, wieght rooms or any room. (its jail. it’s suppose to be a punishment, not a social network).

They allow clergy in there. So whether it is separate cells etc. or not won’t matter.
It’s MUSLIMS and converts that need to be deported! ISLAM needs to be banned.

Judge Napolitano said it when he said: “If you can’t vet or there is DIFFICULTY in vetting….”then there is grounds for a travel ban.
Mr. Deshorwitz also said about the Israeli Wall: “That laws can’t be passed for political or religious reasons, but they can for SECURITY REASONS”!

Looks like Italy is coming to their senses. I am happy for them and hope this gives courage to other countries to do that the same. I am also hoping Trump will get to this point too.

They’re not going to help. It is fantasy to think so.
Note the people’s desperation, when they have to hope and pray that an illegal operation resolves the problems.
Why then do we have elected officials?

“All four men were put on a direct flight from Rome to Cairo on Wednesday afternoon.” Gee, seems like a lot of expense to go to just for four degenerates. Wouldn’t it have made more sense, if they were just dropped off somewhere out over the Mediterranean. They would certainly never become a problem for Italy again, if done that way.

It took a change in government in Italy to see things like this happening. To be precise a change in government from the left to the right! The new right-wing government in Italy knows full well where islamic haters preach hatred in the country. We will see deportations of hate-preaching foreigners and clerics more often in the future in Italy! Austria and Denmark also have vowed to deport foreign islamic haters and shut down mosques where jihad and hatred are being preached.
Only France, Germany and the BeNeLux-countries keep taking them in in huge numbers and deportations are rare, the rest of western, southern and northern Europe is somewhere in between those two approaches……..
Most of the eastern european countries do not take islamic refugees at all!
The EU-commission has also vowed to protect the EU-borders more efficiently in the future by its agency “Frontex”, but neither the commission nor the agency itself can be trusted, because, so far, Frontex has not prevented illegal migrants from entering Europe, but on the contrary, has brought the african and muslim invaders to Europe!

Europe had best think carefully about the situations that the continent is facing. They had best assess various possible scenarios of what may occur, what is coming, and so forth.
Proactive stance is everything.

“The imam was in prison for ROBBERY and DRUG DEALING!” (EMPHASIS MINE)
These are islam’s priests right, so this is like saying Father O’Fakeny was in jail for ROBBERY and DRUG DEALING isn’t it?
Just what kind of vile reprehensible ideology has it’s clergy dealing drugs and jacking stores?

U.S. waits until the jihadis kill innocent victims and still doesn’t deport them. They put them in comfy American prisons where they make outrageous demands and recruit other jihadis from the prisoners there. Our government is at war with it’s own country. Only we the people can or will stop it.

This is a great example of how a change of government can alter the judicial process of a whole country. This very sane measure would have been unthinkable before the Italian election changed Italy for the better.
